• That stretch of road (off the strand via the cyclepath and up towards Covt Garden) seems to encourage bad driving. I think because it's a dead end (for cars), taxis coming out of that junction on the right don't think they have to look left to see if anythings coming.

    I got t-boned by a cab coming out of there a few months back. Admittedly I was on the 'wrong' side of the road taking a wide berth round the nodders, but the cabbie just didn't look to his left as he drove straight into the road. All happenend kind of slow-mo and didn't hurt too much though. Weirdly he was very apologetic, gave me a lift to work (with bike) and ended up paying me £90 for a new front rim+wheel build later that day.
